How to Access Your RRCC Records
Need a transcript or records from Red Rocks? This page explains how to request official and unofficial transcripts, what we can and can’t provide, and how third parties can request records. Please note: we can only release RRCC records—documents from other institutions must be requested directly from the source.
Please note: The following instructions are for Red Rocks Community College records only. We do not retain or cannot release the following records:
An unofficial transcript is a free comprehensive record of your academic progress, including transfer courses, credit earned by exam and earned degrees or certificates. It does not include the school seal or signature of the Registrar. Your legal name appears on your unofficial RRCC transcript as it appears on your school record.
If you currently attend RRCC or attended within the past year, you can view and print an unofficial transcript through The Rock:
If you have not attended RRCC recently, please email transcripts@rrcc.edu. You will receive an email containing a link to our Authorization to Release Information request form and instructions for completion. Please check your junk or spam folder in case our response goes there.
For most opportunities beyond RRCC (employment, certification, credit transfer to other institutions, etc.), you will need an official copy of your transcript. An official transcript is a copy that is sent from RRCC directly to an institution or entity, and includes a school seal along with the signature of our Registrar.

RRCC now participates in Third Party Ordering through Parchment! If you are another college, a verifier, an employer, or other organization requesting a transcript on behalf of a student, you must provide a valid release of information form signed by the student. You may not order a transcript for a student without their written consent. When you go to Parchment to request a transcript, click the button that says "Ordering on behalf of someone else."
If your organization is not approved to request documents through Parchment, you may provide your institutional release of information form to the Cashier’s Office, along with $10 payment. This transcript will be physically mailed through USPS. Please allow 2-3 business days for payment processing and up to a week for transcript processing.
If you have questions about third party ordering and whether you would legally be permitted to request a transcript for a student under FERPA regulations, please email transcripts@rrcc.edu with a detailed description of your question and reason for ordering the transcript. Please check your junk or spam folder in case our responses go there.
The transcript cost is based on the method of delivery and destination, starting at $3. All Parchment transcripts must be paid by credit card at the time of the order. During the ordering process you will be able to see the exact charge for each available option, prior to confirming your order and entering your credit card information. Parchment accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Your card will be charged when the transcript order has been sent.
